Her bosom is an ivory throne, Where tyrant virtue reigns alone ; No subject vice dare interfere, To check the power that governs here. O! would she deign to rule my fate, I'd worship Kings and kingly state, And hold this maxim all life long, The King my King can do no wrong. -The End- The Divine Right Of Kings by Edgar Allen Poe Slide 7 First Permanent English Settlement in N.
